Synopsis

Ko Yamori cannot sleep, so he starts walking the city after dark, which is how he encounters Nazuna Nanakusa, a vampire who offers him something between friendship and predation. Becoming a vampire requires falling in love with one, which Ko decides he wants and Nazuna decides she will facilitate, neither of them having any real understanding of what love actually involves. The series builds its identity on empty streets, neon, and the specific freedom of being awake when the rest of the world has stopped.

⚠ Background — may contain spoilers
Adapted from Kotoyama's manga by LIDENFILMS, Call of the Night stood out through its distinctive nocturnal aesthetic, its moody synth-driven soundtrack, and its treatment of the central romantic question as a genuine philosophical puzzle rather than a foregone conclusion. Its striking use of color, particularly in night cityscapes, drew widespread praise. The series found an audience among viewers responding to its portrayal of insomnia and social alienation as much as to its vampire premise, and it sustained a second season. Its portrayal of insomnia and alienation resonated well beyond the vampire premise.
